Gorila Dining Experience
The mood is informal and a bit rebellious, industrial decor under graffiti, with a terrace out front. It is dog-friendly and good for groups starting an evening.

Get directions→Getting There
It sits on Calle de la Corredera Baja de San Pablo, 47, in the Universidad barrio, the Malasaña side of Centro.
Nearby
Universidad is the student-facing edge of the centre, young and busy and cheap in places, ambitious in others. The eating shifts block by block, from taverns pouring vermut to kitchens doing genuinely contemporary cooking. It runs into Malasaña and Gran Vía, and the mood changes with it.
